But can you take this? I’ve gathered all my mana into one attack.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, suddenly, he told another surprising sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although I believe you can’t take this, let me give you a chance. If you can block it... Then you win.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia smirked, waving her hand toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure. Give it to me. I will show you just how strong I am.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd roared, stomping their feet as Larris raised his massive axe high above his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Avalanche Crash!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The axe came down in a crushing arc, the force so immense that the entire arena floor cracked open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of raw mana blasted out, tearing through the stone tiles and rushing straight toward Dahlia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spectators in the front row shielded their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such power...!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s one of the Stone Fang’s ultimate techniques!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s eyes widened for a moment. She had never seen anything like this before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion had always taught her one thing: strengthen the body first, and mana was only there to empower the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, here before her was a technique that used mana itself as the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia wasn’t even panicking, but excited, even as the wave of mana tore across the arena toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this fight... I’m going to make Master teach me something like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lowered her stance, planting her feet wide, clenching her fists, and rising her chest as she pulled every ounce of mana from her cells to cover her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then... Let’s see whose body breaks first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And finally, the wave of mana slammed into Dahlia, ripping her body apart, spraying her blood across the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shockwave also shook the arena, making it difficult to see as a thick cloud of dust appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when the dust began to settle, a figure slowly appeared, Dahlia, but she was not in good condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was still standing, but her body was covered in cuts and bruises, and blood streaked down her arms and legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some shouted in disbelief, while others screamed her name. The rest cheered for Larris for unleashing such a devastating technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Larris stepped forward, raising his fist high to the sky and smirked toward the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several elders in the premium seats even clapped their hands, convinced the match was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-robed elder turned to Garion, smiling smugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too bad, my friend. It seems that your disciple has lost. Don’t worry, five decades are not that long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s expression froze for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder leaned in closer, ready to savor the feeling of winning over the confident Garion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he looked clearly at Garion’s face, the elder’s face changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion was not in despair, but instead, his grin was so wide it nearly split his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then turned to the grey-robed elder, his face was like he lost nothing\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lost? Are you really sure about that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-robed elder blinked, startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion leaned forward, pointing to the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look again more clearly, old man.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grey-robed elder quickly turned back to the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the stage, Larris was still basking in the cheers, lowering his guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And ni that moment... THUD!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shadow blurred in front of him, Dahlia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Larris’ eyes went wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia smirked, her face pale from blood loss, but her gaze was still sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master always said ’never to lower your guard until the very end.’\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Larris could move, Dahlia twisted her hips and poured the last of her mana into her fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Final Punch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fist smashed into Larris’ chest with explosive force, sending him flying across the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Larris then slammed into the far wall with a deafening boom, and he was knocked out instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence fell for a moment before the crowd erupted into a larger one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She won!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She beat Larris!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unbelievable... She managed to beat all others to be the last one standing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The announcer, still trembling, raised both arms and shouted at the top of his lungs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Winner, Dahlia of the God Gym!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arena shook with cheers, celebrating the fact that Dahlia had managed to win this tournament with very small odds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders were in shocked. Mouths hung open, and eyes stayed locked onto the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How... how can she still move after that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not just moving. She can even deliver a punch strong enough to beat Larris!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the gray-robed elder, who had smirked confidently before, now sat in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he shook his head, sighing quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To think... that girl Dahlia was this strong. She managed to defeat all competitors, including both Larris and Elira.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whispers from the other elders grew louder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really unbelievable. Both of them were peak Saturation Stage cultivators.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They were already half a step into the Mana Core Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And yet... they still lost to an unknown girl even after working together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-robed elder turned to Garion again, sighing once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My friend, indeed... I admit I’ve lost this time. I never thought your disciple could really defeat those two.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion leaned back in his chair, grinning so wide his teeth showed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course she did. She’s my disciple and we’re from the God Gym.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He jabbed a thumb on his own chest and laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re the gods!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several elders frowned at his arrogance, but Garion didn’t care and kept grinning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-robed elder raised his hand, waving him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, yes. I hear you. Now follow me, it’s time for me to reward her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion blinked. \"Reward?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-robed elder smirked, tilting his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t know? This year’s tournament... I am the one who oversaw it. You can say... that I am the top authority around here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion was a bit surprised, but he just laughed and didn’t panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re the big boss here, huh? You should have just said it earlier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-robed elder narrowed his eyes at him, already expecting fear or at least caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, all he saw was Garion’s carefree grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really are interesting. Most people tremble when they know me, but not you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion just laughed harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Scared? Why would i be scred? My disciple just crushed your entire tournament! What do i habve to be afraid of?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-robed elder shook his head slowly, but this time there was a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph. Bold words. Very well then, let’s see if you can keep talking so loudly when you hear what comes next.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other elders leaned forward, curious, as Garion’s grin only grew wider.\u003C\u002Fp>",1118,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.261Z",1,"novelbin.me","d46a5a26cc38b1ad492755fbdc26084cfd1ea0f8a3e59746c4da08d517f8f61f","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-290","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-289",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
